Two people have been injured outside a Stockholm underground station after an unidentified explosive device detonated, apparently after someone picked it up from the ground to take a look at it.
Stockholm police told Swedish news agency TT the injured were a 60-year old man and a 45-year-old woman, with the man in serious condition.
